Not the power brick. Fuckity. And I just realized it's probably not the monitor, because the studio monitor's not showing anything either.
FUCK.IT.Y.
(Sorry, this isn't so much a question any more as it is a vent. But advice would still be welcome.)

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Does it play a chime when you turn the Mac on?
Is it on a network? Can you see it on the network?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Swapped the monitors, still nothing.
There's no chime. (Bad sign, I know.)
The Macs aren't networked. (They're connected to the internet, but outside the company firewall.)
(And neither has Airport, so I can't even try to detect it with my iPod.)

I've unplugged all the peripherals except the monitor, mouse & keyboard - still nothing. I hear drives spinning, but there's no chime and no response from the monitor.
Which is kind of a good sign because it means that the capture card probably wasn't the problem, but also a bad sign because it means I still have no computer.
From the sound the CPU is making, it sounds stuck in a loop. It keeps spinning up, slowing down, and then spinning again.
Shit. I'm going to have to lug this thing to the Apple Store aren't I?

Okay, I'm trying to reset the SMC as per this page. The first method didn't work. Anyone know where the diagnostic LEDs are? Obviously they're not ON right now for me to see them because THE COMPUTER WON'T TURN ON. Argh.

Just got off the phone with Apple support, and it's a hardware issue that requires a trip to the Genius Bar.

Doe anybody have any experience with Google Presentations? I created a bunch of slides and now I'm trying to either print them at 3 or 6 to a page, or export them to do it in PowerPoint, but it does not seem to be possible to do either.

Bonny, when I used contribute at work, I could only change text. If I tried to change anything about the look of the page, the webmaster had to go in and make the changes with dream weaver.
Right. That's the way it SHOULD be. Deena has identified that I'm actively breaking the site.
Sigh.
